short distance of Mr.. Rogers fence. That
was the last seen ofhim. The party st once

No fairer or more accurate test can bs
made than the one bringing the results
above given, and these plain, unvsrniah-
ed facts are calculated to produce some
thing OF sensation in nail circles. Tho
wire nails have been selling for about one
third more than cut nails because OF the
supposed difference in their favor, where
"a the truth 10 they fall abort nearly fifty
per cent. Look at the last table given.
Examine 1t well. Itcontsius remarkable
facts, but thvy are Indispensable, and this,
too, in face OF the fact that the cut nails
sell for less than the wire nails. No one
with rational views would attempt to i'm
pede progress, but in the name OF progress
the people are likely to be gulled in some
things. A great many people always
think that anything nav, any innovation,
must necessarily be better because it is
later. The facts in the nail business do
